I would say yes to the 22 dropping a fox if you hit it properly.

Are you looking for hyper velocity, sub-sonic or a sub-sonic that's really, really slow?

If'n yer lookin' for hyper velocity I've found the CCI MiniMag and Yellowjackets to be very effective (I'm having a massive brain fart, can't think who makes Yellowjackets and I don't currently have a box here to look at.)

fishnfool1991 for fox I would use Cci velcitors. They are .22 LR Hypervelcity, and I think they work better than the stingers. They will knock out a fox, but that is the limit! Asphalt cowboy Remington makes yellow jackets but I would much rather use a velcitor on them. CCI - Home

I would buy a few different types of ammo, and see what your gun shoots the best.
